*A/N: I'm so sorry this took so long for me to update. Hopefully I still have some people who are 読書 this fanfic. Anyways, as あなた might または might not be able to recall, the idea behind this fanfic was to basically give a little bit of background into House and Cuddy's college days together and tie that into the events in LTEC. This is the chapter in which I attempt to tie the college days that were described in 前 chapters to a present 日 scene in LTEC. This was a difficult chapter to write because it doesn't really focus on the dialogus but rather, the House and Cuddy's thoughts. Anyways, hope あなた enjoy and I will try to get the 4th and last chapter up soon.*

“Oh, shit, shit, shit. Please tell me what I think happened last night didn’t actually happen and was all part of a horrible dream,” 発言しました a dismayed Cuddy as she got out of ベッド and started to put on a bathrobe.
    “Geez, was I that bad?” asked House.
    “No, あなた were great. So great that we are probably going to want to do this again,” 発言しました Cuddy.
    “I’m not seeing what the problem is,” 発言しました House.
    “We can’t do this again. I’m not ready for this type of a relationship,” Cuddy explained.
     "I don’t understand. あなた were the one who led me into your bedroom last night. あなた were the one that wanted this,” 発言しました House.
    “I know. I was caught up in the moment and wasn’t thinking straight. I’m sorry. I hope we can still be friends,” 発言しました Cuddy.
    “Friends with benefits?” asked House hopefully.
    “No,” replied Cuddy.
    “Well, あなた can’t blame a guy for trying,” 発言しました House feigning disappointment.
    “I got to get ready for class. I suggest あなた do the same,” Cuddy chuckled. House sighed as he watched her leave the bedroom and head towards the bathroom.

*Flash フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to present day*

    “I think we’re supposed to キッス now,” 発言しました a hopeful Cuddy. She couldn’t help herself. She got caught up in the moment again. For that one brief moment, she didn’t see House, the misanthropic jerk, but rather, she saw Greg, the fun-loving and carefree guy she knew back in college.
    “We already did that,” 発言しました House. The tone of his voice and the look in his eyes implied
that he was also reminiscing about their days in college as well. Then, unexpectedly, his placed his hand on her breast. “It seemed like the 次 logical step,” he explained. The hope that had filled Cuddy’s eyes moments earlier vanished as she came crashing back down to reality. This wasn’t the same guy she knew back in college.
    “Really? I’m an idiot for being surprised,” Cuddy responded disappointed in herself もっと見る than anything for once again getting carried away. She turned around to walk away.
    A few hours later, House was sitting によって the side of his 机, デスク contemplating his relationship with Cuddy as well as other romantic relationships he screwed up, particularly his relationship with Stacy. Looking back on his relationship with Stacy, he realized that the thing that drew him to Stacy was the fact that she reminded him of Cuddy. After all, they were both strong, independent, and intelligent women who could hold their own against him. He had been a fool. If only he knew then what he realized now, he could have spared himself years of heartache. It was then that House was interrupted from his thoughts によって Taub entering his office.
    “Where’s Cuddy?” Taub asked as if he was able to read House’s mind.
